I just think that a promotion shouldn't automatically entail moving into management. At my company the engineer ladder and the management ladder are different (though you can transfer between them if you like). I can get promoted 5 more times (NOT gonna happen, I'm hoping for 2 in the next 5 years) before I get stalled out. And people that are 5 levels above me are effectively gods.

Yeah, that makes sense to me. But apparently hcayless is not in the same situation but still got offended when they weren't promoted.
